On December 19, 2008, Catherine Burgod was found brutally murdered--stabbed 28 times--in a post office in a small French mountain town. Suspicion fell on Gérald Thomassin, a former César-winning actor turned drifter, who lived across from the crime scene. Despite his troubled past, he was released due to lack of evidence, while the victim's family remained convinced of his guilt--until a new suspect emerged. In The Post Office Stranger, acclaimed journalist Florence Aubenas pieces together this real-life mystery with precision, empathy, and narrative finesse, crafting a gripping true crime story that transcends the genre.
